The RX 7900 XTX crashed back into the conversation

Today is an ad hoc digest day because one price move completely changed the shape of the high end. The tracked Radeon RX 7900 XTX fell from $1,699.99 on September 15 to $1,129.99 today on its exact Amazon page, a 33.5% one day drop. That lands it below the tracked RTX 5070 Ti at $1,199.99, which makes the RX 7900 XTX vs. RTX 5070 Ti comparison a lot more interesting than it was yesterday if you care about paying less for 24 GB.

NVIDIA’s side of the shelf split in two. The tracked RTX 5080 jumped from $1,299.00 to $1,599.99 on the exact ZOTAC listing this site tracks, while the tracked RTX 4070 Super eased from $979.00 to $969.00 and the tracked RTX 5060 held at $459.99. If you were already shopping above $1,000, the more useful sanity check now is probably RX 7900 XTX vs. RTX 5080, because that gap widened by almost $470 in one refresh.

The rest of the refreshed Amazon book mostly stood still. The tracked RX 9070 XT remained $799.51, the tracked RX 9070 stayed $689.99, and the tracked Arc B580 held at $369.99. That leaves today’s real story exactly where the market got weird: the old AMD flagship suddenly costs less than the newer NVIDIA card sitting one rung below it.
